Waissel told X Magazine: "I'm not an actress. I'm not being paid to play a villain role. I'm just a girl that wants to go and sing, that's it. So to get so much stick for something I haven't done... and also for them pointing the finger at the wrong person."

"[Because] people should really open their eyes and take a look around. It's not fair. But the truth always prevails in the end, and I'm trying to get my side of the truth out, which is what I'm doing now…"

She added: "I just wanted to make the point that I'm not fake. I find that awful. Why would people think I was ungenuine? Because other people on the show haven't been genuine, so they wanna make me that kind of person? No. I'll always be true to myself and stand up for what I believe in."
